KEYS AND DOORS

1
Master key (black) ± The master key works in
every lock. For your Lexus dealer to make you
a new key with built±in transponder chip, your
dealer will need it.
2
Sub key (gray) ± The sub key will not open the
trunk, trunk main switch and the glove box.
3
Key number plate ± Keep the plate in a safe
place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
A transponder chip for engine immobiliser system has
been filled in the head of the master and sub keys.
These chips are needed to enable the system to function
correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you
make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to
cancel the system or start the engine.
To protect things locked in the trunk or glove box when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub key with the
attendant.Since the doors and trunk lid can be locked without a key,
you should always carry a spare master key in case you
accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you need additional
keys, duplicates can be made by a Lexus dealer using
the key number.
We recommend you to write down the key number and
keep it in safe place.

ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM

KEYS AND DOORS
15
w11L016
The engine immobiliser system is a theft prevention
system. When you insert the key in the ignition
switch, the transponder chip in the key's head
transmits an electronic code to the vehicle. The
engine will start, only when the electronic code in
the chip corresponds to the registered ID code for
the vehicle.
The system is automatically set when the key is
removed from the ignition switch. At this time, the
security indicator light flashes. When you insert the key
in the ignition switch, the security indicator light goes out
and the system is canceled automatically, which
enables the engine to start.
For your Lexus dealer to make you a new key with
built±in transponder chip, your dealer will need your key
number and master key. However, there is a limit to the
number of additional keys your Lexus dealer can make
for you.If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be
able to cancel the system or start the engine.
